Came
across the September 1973 Consumer Reports magazine, and in it, a comparison
of the six leading light duty trucks of 1973. The participants were
the Ford F100, Chevrolet C10, Dodge D100, Toyota Hi-lux, Chevrolet Luv, and
the Datsun Li'l Hustler. Click

all for yourself.

Still
adding Readers Rides, just a few more to look at. Be sure to visit the
Readers Ride
section to see the rest of the new additions!

Anyone
know anything about this truck? This is a visitors truck and he is
looking for some information on it. If anyone has any information on
it, please contact me at jdrew@73-87.com.
Thanks!

Yet

days. Here are a few more of some outstanding 'Rides you folks have
been sending in!

More
Readers Rides have been added, with many more to come...Here are just a few
wxamples of the recent additions. Click the picture to be taken to
their section.

The
Readers Rides page has been updated, rides are now broken down by bodystyle
to help the pages load faster and to help visitors find what they are
looking for easier.
Take a look,
and if you haven't already, send me pictures of your ride...I would love to
add it to the site.

Are
you in to radio controlled cars & trucks? If so, would you like to
have a 73-87 radio controlled truck? Well, I have good news....you
can! While I was hanging out at one of the 73-87 message boards I
frequent, a member there posted a picture of the R/C Blazer you see below.
Turns out this Blazer belonged to one of his online friends...and since I
thought it was one of the coolest little toys I have ever seen, I asked if
he could put me in contact with the builder. Long story short,
Santiago Montejo (the builder), put together this article for all of us to
read. So, if you think this is something you would like to do, click
the picture below to be taken to his article. Oh, before I forget...he
has provided detailed pictures of three 73-87's he has built!
Thank you Santiago!

Been
working on the truck a little lately, click the image below to see a couple
other "updated" pictures. Also, wrapped up the
fuel cell install article...added the final picture, one of the fuel
door installed in the painted bed floor. I am pleased with how it
turned out.

Want
to add an
overhead console to your 73-87 truck? A visitor of this site and
an online friend of mine, Bruce Latulip, has put together a new tech article
doing exactly that! Bruce just recently installed a late model
overhead console to his beautiful stepside and took the time to take some
photos along the way and put together a neat little how-to for the site.
Click the link above to see exactly how it was done.

Finally had a chance to update the site after a couple months. I have
added some brand new GM assembly line photos courtesy of visitor Larry
Wittman, click here
to see the latest additions. Larry also sent in some other GM
promotional photos, they can be seen
here. Thank
you very much Larry for sharing these with all of us!

Lately I have been receiving
numerous E-mails requesting help decoding all sorts of engines and transmissions.
Unfortunately I do not own any engine or transmission suffix books, but I can however tell
you where to begin your search. Visit Mortec.com, there is a ton of information on their site pertaining to
Chevrolet engines, and more than likely you will find what you are looking for there.
If that doesn't answer your question, please visit any of the sites below,
all are filled with owners of these trucks (and older), someone is bound to
know there. My screen name is bigblock73 on all four, stop by and say
hi.
